I recall that Fedora Magazine once had sections. A section for users and a section for contributors makes more sense to me than spinning up a whole new site. Users might be interested in content in either scope, and we want them to *become* contributors. It strikes me as more inclusive to make all the content available in one place, anyway, but not necessarily on the same pages. --Pete
